1. THAT is Fleetwood Mac.

Raw power and emotion. Bad luck that PG crashed and the rest sold their souls for some silver.

3. The "Boston Tea Party" set is the stuff of legends

I remember the original vinyl release, which had a horrendous bootleg sound quality, but the performance was undeniably red hot. Then someone found the master tapes and did it right. The 2 to 4 minute tracks on their studio albums didn;t hint at the powerhouse jam band they were in concert (especially on the 25-minute "Rattlesnake Shake," which cools down to a bit of "Albatross," then kicks back into high gear again)...

The "Boston Box" (which contained Volume 3) is out of print (two copies on Amazon for $148 and $195), as is Volume 3 itself (8 copies on Amazon from $69 to $199), but the real meat of the performance is still available on the single Volume 1 and Volume 2 CDs ($11.99 each).

6. Thanks for this. As much as I loved early Fleetwood Mac, I prefered Peter Green's work

with John Mayall on A Hard Road. Same with Clapton and the Beano album. Maybe it's because those albums are the first time I heard either artist.
